Abstract
A 52-year-old man complained of severe dyspnea due to tracheal stricture 6 months after thermal inhalation injury. After Nd-YAG laser therapy, an intratracheal stent was inserted to the stenotic site of trachea. His respiration improved. This case suggests that Nd-YAG laser therapy was effective for treatment of tracheal stricture due to thermal inhalation injury, but further close follow-up by bronchoscopy is needed.
